Duck in Resilience

This digital piece features the profile of a duck, its body poised in quiet contemplation before a collage of colors and shapes. The background, a series of overlapping, long trapezoidal forms, evokes the organic flow of feathers, symbolizing the inevitable turbulence of life. Overlaid by a barricade of wavy vertical lines, reminiscent of reeds in a pond, the piece conveys a sense of confinement. The duck, however, remains unfazed, facing its colorful surroundings with a calm expression. This work reflects the idea of maintaining one's identity and integrity—symbolized by the duck’s feathers—amidst the unpredictability of life. It speaks to the struggle of finding stability and self-worth in a world of change and turmoil, much like the journey of the "ugly duckling" finding its place in the world. Ultimately, Duck in Resilience explores resilience: how one can stand firm in the face of chaos, choosing to grow and embrace life, rather than retreating from it.
